Chapter 140: Dark Shadow

On summer nights, the breeze is refreshing, the unpolluted night sky is clear and clear, and the ten thousand points of brightness hang on the top, as if you can reach out and touch it, but the light you see may come from millions of years ago, and the dry atmosphere is transparent, so that the stars can shine on the insignificance of human beings at night, but people always look up when the clouds are thick.

With a feeling of apprehension, Chen Zhen followed behind Fan Hu and headed east.

Duan Zhengming refused his request to take out the stones, if there was water in the skull, he could do a craniotomy, but the brain was not a joke, he didn't study neurosurgery, so he didn't dare to mess around, but he promised that if there was a corpse with bones, he could try to study it.

And Chen Zhen and Fan Hu negotiated for an afternoon and decided to accept the task.

He just went as a backup, not approaching the beach, not looking at the dark shadows, not in direct contact with the big insects, stopping and waiting a few kilometers away, if Fan Hu and they were in danger, they would immediately withdraw to find him, of course, if Chen Zhen felt something wrong on the road, he immediately stopped and ran back.

Therefore, Chen Zhen is also shouldering the mission of the guinea pig, and in the future, to fight against the big insects and black shadows, he must have the participation of the bones of the Bai family, and if the bones will be affected, he can't do that, so his participation is also very important.

It's just that the plan had to be changed, Fan Hu originally wanted to go with Chen Zhen and the two of them, the feat of killing more than 300 mutant mice in one afternoon was already at the level of a top master in Fan Hu's mind, Chen Zhen couldn't participate, so he had to call some members of the kitten hunter group to act together.

Anyway, with the solid backing of Chen Zhen, their actions can also be bolder.

Yang Yan also came, he was decadent for half a year, recovered for two months, and his strength has returned to the level of the past, the key is that he still has a bottle of strengthening potion that has not been used, and he plans to use it when there is danger, and by the way, "taste" the power, and do not have to worry about safety.

Yangcheng is three days away from the sea, a round trip is about six days, seven people set off in the afternoon, walk faster, has left Yangcheng nearly 100 kilometers.

They carry poison gas canisters on them, and they are going to set up several layers of defense lines when they return, if the large bug army leaves the sea and marches towards Yangcheng, the poison gas can cover a large area after triggering the mechanism, even if it can only hurt the big bugs.

Duan Zhengming stayed in Yangcheng alone, responsible for cleaning and renovating their new home, and the rest of the people from the Kitten Hunter Group would help.

…………

On the morning of the third day, they came to a place ten kilometers away from the beach, where they buried a pot next to a boulder.

"How's it going, do you feel anything out of the ordinary?" Fan Hu asked Chen Zhen.

The departure time and arrival time are calculated, Chen Zhen will not move forward here, this is their temporary headquarters, have a full meal, rest for a while, set off separately at noon, go in groups of two and two, go in different directions, observe the number of big insects, if there are too many, estimate the floor area.

"Everything works." When Chen Zhen came here, his hanging heart finally let go, and there was no abnormality here, indicating that the existence that controlled the mutant rat king—there was a high probability that it was a black shadow by the sea—could not perceive his existence at this distance, or perceived it, but there was no way to control it.

"That's good, that's good." Fan Hu also breathed a sigh of relief.

They really don't have any idea about Chen Zhen, the first-level task rewards more than 100,000 at a time, this mission has a certain risk, the task reward is 200,000 lion coins, Chen Zhen's wanted is only 500,000, in order to risk the unknown and great danger to be his enemy, it is better to cooperate well, and there will be money to make in the future, besides, Fan Hu stayed in Yangcheng only for Yangcheng, it has little to do with money, and they are not from the Bai family.

Breakfast is barbecue, grilled by Yang Yan, he used to be a young master Kuo, he has eaten everything delicious, this is the key to being a cook, he also has a talent in this area, when he was in Xucheng, he often cooked at a woman's house, although the purpose was only to happen something unrelated to cooking in the process of cooking, but the craft was indeed practiced.

The gravy dripped into the fire, sizzling, Fan Hu was usually a sloppy middle-aged man, grabbed the first piece of meat to be roasted, and ate it with a huff, occasionally being scalded and screaming, and he couldn't tell that he was a big hero of Yangcheng at all.

"You've got to be careful, worry about that thing controlling the big bugs lurking around and coming to beat you when we're gone." Yang Yan handed the piece of meat worn by the branch to Chen Zhen, which was the second piece that had been roasted.

Chen Zhen nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of insects, I'm afraid of controlling me." ”

"Then don't underestimate the big bugs, if they are controlled, their way of fighting is different from before, and they must be much more powerful." Yang Yan said very seriously.

"I see." Chen Zhen nodded again and said, "It may take time for the strengthening potion to take effect, don't forget." ”

"You know, you've told me three times." Yang Yan smiled, pulled another branch from the ground, looked at it for a while, and handed the meat to a member of the Kitten Hunter Regiment.

After eating and taking a nap, the six people got up, divided into three groups, and marched in the three directions of due east, northeast and southeast.

After doing these things, he sat in place and waited patiently, he could already smell the faint smell of seawater, he thought of Kong Ying, and then looked up at the sky sharply.

…………

This time it was just a preliminary exploration, quietly went over to take a look at the situation of the big bugs, did not fight, at most quietly threw some small poison gas canisters that he carried with him, Yang Yan and Fan Hu went to the east.

Ten kilometers from the beach does not mean that they have to go ten kilometers, they do not know the specific number of large insects, they do not know how much space they have occupied, maybe they can see the boundary of the insect swarm after going out for a kilometer.

The agreed time is three hours, and after three hours, return to Chen Zhen to gather, exchange information, formulate a battle plan, if it is too dangerous, set up a gas tank and go back to the city directly, if the insect swarm is dispersed, find something easy to kill, provided that it does not cause a swarm riot.

But the plan was disrupted.

After walking for thirty minutes, about seven meters and a thousand meters, he could already see the woods in the distance, this forest was narrow and long, located on the edge of the cliff, and the beach was under the cliff, Fan Hu was relieved, the number of big insects was much less than he imagined, even if he attacked Yangcheng collectively, Kaihong could cut them into pieces.

But at this moment, he and Yang Yan stopped at the same time, and expressions of fear appeared on their faces.

Both of them are commander-level figures, strong in their own right, and have been dealing with mutated creatures for a long time, if they see a big bug, even if they are not surprised, let alone afraid, unless the big bug is the size of a city.

The mutated creatures of that size only exist in the sea at the moment, and what they see is not a big bug, but the black shadow.

The black shadow is about five meters tall, humanoid, with a very slender body, a little hunched back, hands up to knees, and very sharp fingertips, as if they have been cut with a sharp knife, and is walking forward at a slow pace, obviously there is no entity, and there is no sound of footsteps when walking, but its movements look a little difficult, even cumbersome.

It had a pair of eyes that glowed with a strong red light, or rather, two red lights on its head, and looked at the two of them, as if it could see through their minds.

This is the second time Fan Hu has seen the black shadow, the black shadow is what he discovered, and the "myths and legends" related to it are transmitted from him, the first time is seen on the edge of the cliff in the woods, the black shadow is standing on the beach looking at the sea in a daze, it was very far away at that time, and it couldn't see clearly, it didn't find his existence, this was the first time he had eye contact with it.

The black shadow walked out of the woods, did not walk towards Fan Hu and Yang Yan, just turned his head to look at them, and continued to walk due west.

Towards the Chen Formation.

"Is there anything wrong with the body?" Fan Hu's heart was beating hard, and the gaze of the black shadow made him feel a strong uneasiness, just uneasiness, without the slightest hostility.

"Nope." Yang Yan's state was the same as Fan Hu's, staring at the black shadow blankly, and even forgetting to pull out the axe behind him.

"His goal is Chen Zhen." Fan Hu began to regret inviting Chen Zhen to participate in this operation, if Chen Zhen's arrival alarmed the black shadow and alarmed the big insects, Yangcheng would be all over.

"Go back and tell him to leave." Yang Yan said and immediately turned around and froze again.

Behind the two of them, countless large insects came out of the ground, blocking their place, and they couldn't see the border at a glance, it had only rained a few days ago, and the ground was still wet, and there were no dense plants in this place, so they couldn't see that there were big insects hiding underground.

Yang Yan was wrong, it was not Chen Zhen who was ambushed, but them, and there were more of them than Fan Hu imagined.

"Don't fight, rush back." Fan Hu pulled out his weapon, he used a pair of one-handed axes, the blades of the axes were very thick, not sharp, but it was not a problem to break through the insect beetle.

"Wait for me to step up." Yang Yan responded, and without hesitation, he took out the compound medicine Qi and stabbed it into his legs, and the liquid in the glass bottle tumbled and injected into his body.

It is a third-generation compound strengthening potion, but it has been improved, the effect is longer, and the effect is shorter, Yang Yan only feels that there is an extremely powerful force that has surged into his body from the pores, and the axe in his body and hand is getting lighter and lighter, which feels good and is easy to addict.

It's just that I don't have time to pay attention to the feeling of the body now, and the most important thing is to make good use of the effect of the medicine to kill insects.

The two of them rushed towards the army of big bugs at the same time.

The other two teams were also in trouble, they didn't see the black shadow, but they were also ambushed by the big bugs, and they were surrounded by countless big bugs.

The single-edged axe cut off the footsteps of a jumping spider, and the hand axe cut off the tentacles of a longhorn beetle, and the big insects desperately crawled towards them, piled up, and surrounded the two of them.
